THE RAILROAD COMMISSION.

As the time for the meeting of the
legislature draws near, we hear les,
of the alleged demand of the people
that the law creating the Railroad
Commission be repealed. Like the in.
terslate commerce law, which is now
working smoothly, II Is a pcrlnanency

The permanency of the Commission
being established, 1t now having a
Fixed place In our system Of official
affairs, the study Is to enlarge and
secure It's greatest possible benefits
The field of duty Of the commissioners
is 50 intricate and wide, so difficult and
novel, that the largest measure of1pa.
tience aud consideration should be ex.
tended them by the people, II must
be borne in mind that whatever Is
practicable Is only so by the earnest
and constant support of the public
Censure for failure or delay in the
attainment of particular results is
neither just nor polite,
One especial truth We would enjoiu
on the incoming legislature: DO not
repeat the folly Of your predecessors
by changing the personnel of the Com
mission There is no act of its duties,
no extension of its period that does
not add to its knowledge of labors
whose variety and novelty is absolutely
unending; as much so, we might say,
as the study of astronomy, Two years
is but novititatc. In the absence
of specific objections the term of Office
of railroad commissioner should, of all
others, be enduring.

We cant say how our county's pri-
soners fare at Charley Smiths but. from
what we can learn, they are kept there
entirely too long, it being stated that
they are kept there months after they
have worked out their fine and costs
and paid everything. Ifthis is be true,
we like the Pilot, think that the con-
tract with Mr.. Smith should be declar-
ed null and void, and as our grand jury
meets next month. It would not be
amiss for them to investigate the mat
tcr-Mayersville Spectator.
We regret that these publications
did net reach us in time to call the
special attention of our Grand Jury to
them; before which there would have
been better facilities than can be had
by the Grand Juries of sharkey and
lssaquena. No complaints of mistreat-
ment, so far as we know, have been
lodged by prisoners in this county.
Still our county officials should thor
oughly and Systematically exercise sur
velllance over the county prisoners
farm. II is but just to say Of Mr..
Smith. who has the prisoners from all
the adjoining counties, we believe, as
well as this, that he has always ex-
hibitcd the utmost readiness to sub
init to and aid in official Investigations.
